I was training Diane Falvey, Fat Girl 2 Fit Girl, last night. I love training Diane because she never says no and is always challenging and pushing herself. Weight loss and getting fit have been a high priority in Diane’s life and she has had some tremendous success over the past year – even completing a few triathlons! Check out her blog when you have some time!
When training Diane I use exercise balls, medicine balls, the foam roller, the rebounder, and a few other ’round’ training items. Diane chuckled that it was the ‘Round Workout’. I thought that was pretty clever - As long as we take the round on our bodies and make it tighter and toned!
I know Diane is having fun although our work-outs can get tough. I love to integrate fun and play into exercise. After all, if we are going to integrate exercise into our lives forever, we want it to be something we look forward to – not something we dread – otherwise it will never become a forever thing! Happy Exercising!

hi Jen,
I love your approach to coaching fitness to your clients.
I am training to become a personal trainer in the UK – hope to be ‘qualified’ next year. I will certainly remember that exercise is supposed to be fun as well as challenging.
I post all my workouts and thoughts on health & fitness here:

Great blog Jen.
I like the idea of the round workout – there are a lot of things that I have not tried before! what is the foam roller?
take care.
